For most of my life I was incredibly embarrassed by this fact, as I grew up in an affluent county just north of Manhattan.

As I've aged, I've come to appreciate how amazing an eye he has for picking treasures out of the discarded metal piles he is surrounded by.

When I was a little girl, he brought home about 500 pounds of discarded Avon jewelry. At first, it provided hours of entertainment, but as time passed, the novelty wore off, and the jewelry sat in bins, untouched.

Now, 20 some years later, I've began to sort thru it, and thus begins the story of this shop.

Please feel free to ask if you are looking for a specific piece, as I never know what I may stumble across :)
